Heck, that fella still living in the 1950's may struggle to remember Venture!
I have stated many a time that I am not a fan of branding. It doesn't do much for me.
I couldn't give two hoots whether OK is brought back, however if there is a choice between OK or the current brand, OK would win hands down - if only because of the relevance to the route.
Northern may be recognised more in its traditional heartlands, but not sure about some areas like Wearside and North Tyneside, who were used to Sunderland and District or Tynemouth etc plying their trade.
Its just like Busway's will never come back, neither will Wear Buses etc.
I hope they don't bring it back, why should they bring it back just to please enthusiasts? Its in the past, move on.
